Although it didn't make a proper appearance in yesterday's Xbox Games Showcase event, Microsoft has confirmed that Gears Tactics will be coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X this holiday.
In a roundup on Xbox Wire, it was noted that the game will run in 4K Ultra HD at 60 frames per-second on Xbox Series X, but no further details have been revealed about the Xbox One version for now.
If you're unaware, Gears Tactics is a fast-paced, turn-based strategy spinoff that first released for PC back in May. Here's what we had to say about it in our review at the time:
Gears Tactics successfully manages to transfer the visceral third-person action of the long-running Gears of War franchise to a top down, turn-based strategy setting whilst keeping a surprising amount of the series' trademark cover-slamming, brutal chainsawing and constant wise-cracking intact.
Excited for the release of Gears Tactics on Xbox One / Series X? Let us know in the comments.

Why would you not show this at the Showcase a Event?
Microsoft are making strange moves I swear
Hope they find a way to get Age of Empires going on Series X / ONE, they have to know how how many people would flood them with love for that one.
Also Grot, I think this is one of those things they were holding back for the August event but after seeing some of the grumbles from fans are trying to do some reassurance that other games are still coming.
That said, I'm glad to hear this, really wanted this game to scratch that tactical itch.
@Jacko11 If they had shown it, you guys would have been the first to complain that “Xbox shows same old games”.
@Z3u5000 yeah I’m inclined to agree. Even though tactics plays differently, it’s still Gears.
@Z3u5000 don’t attempt to speak for me. I’m not even a fan of Gears but it doesn’t change the fact that it should have been present during the showcase. Whether you like it or not, Halo, Forza and Gears are the Xbox big three. This is your next generation presentation, they have to be shown off.
Though I would make an argument for not having shown Forza at all yesterday.
@Z3u5000
Exactly! Then it would have been....”See! More Halo, Gears, & Forza” blah blah.
Some people are never happy.
Really have to admit, not showing this at the showcase event is strange...
